[Psychotics and their bodies].

We observed and other persons, too, (visitors, new patients...) the strange and particular physic aspect of lunatic people who are ill long since. The autonomy everybody seaks after, psychotic people loset it. The transformations of the psychoticbody appears as a trial to singularise and differentiate theirselves from the others. The few alluring aspect of these patients would signify the derogatory imago of a destroyed body, that does not be the mediator of the relationship to the other. Psychotic does not wish to please but want to be.

[Relationship between temperatures behavior following short-term exposure of fingers to heat and cold and various anthropometric index values. Contribution on the problem of temperature regulation in man].

On a sample of n=201 male students between 18 and 30 years cold resp. heat tolerance tests were carried out in order to examine, how far correlations to anthropometric traits are present. No correlation between body height and heat resp. cold tolerance were found. Against that body weight, ROHRER-Index, subcutaneous fat tissue, weight/surface-ratio and surface/weight-ratio showed marked correlations with variations in body temperature. Particularly in the cold tolerance test more heavy and fatty individuals were characterist by a greater ability to store body heat as the decrease of temperature in them was obviously lower. The anthropological significance of these observations is discussed.
